If you reviewed the 60GB PS3, you'd adore the console.

I agree with almost everything OP said.

Many have said this and I just want to say it again: the download speed is the same for me between PS3 and 360.

The other thing I want to add is that PS3 allows you to copy movies to harddrive. It's very convenient.

Also as tehsage said, 60GB is the ultimate version. It even has SACD support (which I haven't tried yet).

The reason why I chose the 80 gig is because they don't don't produce it anymore, you have to get a used. I was going making a review for the average customer.

I'd rather own a used 60GB than a shitty 80GB.

As would I but that's obviously not an option for all consumers, let a lone most.

Your average consumer would most likely have the means to call up gamestop or the like and order a used one.

There are not enough used ones for everyone to get one even if they did. The majority of newly bought PS3s are 80gig because that is the standard sold. That is why I reviewed it. Most people getting or thinking about getting a PS3 want to know about the 80 gig model. If they have the smarts enough to know the difference between the old 60 gigs and the new 80s then they are probably already set and know what they are doing.

I've decided to write up a Xbox 360 review do to people requesting. I will make a complete new thread for that soon.

360 review coming a long well for those who were interested.

Good solid review, as a owner of both systems (albeit a recent 360 purchase) i think you were pretty accurate
